    No new updates. I am still looking for a header and I had to stop working on this one for a little while. I didn't want to take it to Cavalcade with the header the way it was so I hit the pause button on this one and started back on my A coupe. Got it all ready for Cavalcade this weekend. If you are in the Cincy area stop by and check the show out. Josh Shaw does a great job setting everything up for Survivor's Alley. Here is a shot of my A coupe from set up night at Cincinnati Cavalcade of Customs.

    Progress has been slow lately. I have been working on a couple other projects. I finished welding everything up on the drivers side quarter, window and top is welded and finished around to the back window.

    I'm sure there's a special place in Heaven for people who save these old soup can 5W Deuces. Great job.

    Got some great news this week. Looks like I have located a header and a partial rear window section. Hope to have them in the next week or two. The HAMB can be a wonderful place.

    It's been hard to get motivated to work on it. Every time I look, all I see the destroyed header. Hope to have some good updates very soon!

    Awsome looking deuce! I always liked 5 windows more then 3 windows... Call me crazy, but they just have more character, and your chop definately adds alot to that character.

    Keep it up!

    Thanks to the Hamb. My new and I use that term loosely, back window came in. It is a little crunched, but the metal is very solid.

    Here is a good shot of the old piece and the new. A little hammer and dolly work and that crunched up back window straightened out pretty well.

    Here it is all welded up and ground smooth. Still needs a little work to make sure everything is good and straight. I also finished up the pass side quarter window while I was at it. The top is all welded back on. I should be getting the header from ups in the next day or two. Can't wait to see all of it back together!
